Clear blue ultra early - vvv faint line

[kirinm]

I've got a v v v v faint line on a CB today. I had a chemical a couple of months ago and am worried this is going the same way. I'm 12 dpo. Shouldn't a test be pretty obvious by now?

has anyone used these tests?

These tests are notorious for false positives/evaps - I'd consider doing a FRER or another pink dye for some peace of mind.

[kirinm]

I did a pink test yesterday and got a faint line on that too. I've ordered FRERs but they aren't coming for a few days. I don't think this is an evap.

[kirinm]

Also arrrrrrgh, it is so annoying that dodgy tests are allowed on the market! FRERs are getting negative reviews too - not that I can seem to buy them in an actual shop.

Frer are actually getting worse atm and I don’t recommend them at all. I stick by clear blue early detection. It’s impossible to get a false positive. A false positive as blue dye in it. An evap is grey. If you are unlucky (like myself) to get what people say is a false positive (second line that’s faint with a hint of blue) then in the coming days they rest of tests are negative that unfortunately was a chemical pregnancy, but in no way a false positive, rather a real positive just not with the expected outcome. But finally this cycle I got my BFP at 7dpo with a clear blue ultra early and now I’m over 6 weeks!! And frer never ever showed positive for me at all! In any of the 4 pregnancies I’ve had in the past year lol so if you can see a line in ur clear blue and it has colour then fingers crossed it’s a sticky bean for you!! Xx

Good luck to you, but please be wary of frer. I've been sharing my experience on a couple of other threads too just to help others not get their hopes up to perhaps be disappointed like I was. I got all these lines and I'm not and never was pregnant. In fact the last pic is a test I ran under the tap.

@daisychain1620 wow those do look positive. By the time the FRER arrive, my period will either have arrived or not so I think I'll know anyway!

[pinklady1207]

I agree with @daisychain1620, I had 2 false positives with FRER’s 2 months ago. Had a faint positive on a CB which was confirmed with a digital and I am now 6+2 x

[2020wish]

@daisychain1620 @pinklady1207 did u buy those frer on amazon? I’ve heard so many people saying they got sent fake tests that showed positive when even using tap water! Crazy!

[daisychain1620]

Yes there were bought from Amazon and I'm ashamed to say I did approx 10-14- crazy. They were a mixture of first response and rapid results. I really don't want to seem like a Debby downer but I just feel like I want others to know about this.
I truly hope you are preggers!

[kirinm]

I'm mainly concerned about how faint the line is for my DPO.

[kirinm]

To be clear, I haven't done an FRER!

[daisychain1620]

Oh yes I know it's just in case you get a dodgy one like mine!
I can't advise on how strong the line would be but my friend didn't get a line until a couple of days after their period was due

[pinklady1207]

Mine were from Superdrug. Do you have a pic of your CB?

[kirinm]

Here is it.

[kirinm]

*here it is!

[2020wish]

Looks exactly like mine around 12 dpo

[2020wish]

I think this is my pic

[kirinm]

Oh thanks @2020wish fingers crossed then 🤞🏻

[pinklady1207]

Looks like mine! I got ‘pregnant’ on a digi later the same day x

[kirinm]

That's so strange as I thought the digitalis were meant to be less sensitive! Great news for you both though. Fingers crossed it's the same for me. Good luck with your pregnancies x

[2020wish]

I got my digital on the same day also! It has to be just the normal digital, not the weeks indicator one, those ones are less sensitive

Hi. Old thread but still giving this a shot as I have no photo to share. I used CB 6 day early test. I did not see any blue line however, the control area where the line is to appear, has a surge of blue appearing in a wierd angled pattern (the area is supposed to stay white if not pregnant)

I’m thinking of the test stick itself was not ok or the blue wierd pattern means it did detect something?

Hello girls! Please help! Is it positive??
